NZ Author – Autumn 2022 – Issue 328 is out!
This edition contains references to our new NZSA Writer Toolkit.
“If this sounds like a promotional plug, damn right it is. As Omicron starts filtering into our community, I’m even more aware of the importance of such initiatives. The first lockdown taught arts organisations a lot about how to keep connecting… to be responsive and innovative, and the NZSA Writer Toolkit is a great example of this new mode of operating,” says Editor Tina Shaw.
You’ll also learn about how critical it is to accurately price your book and more!
